Donkey hunt

While the American military is keeping busy hunting for Osama Bin Laden, Australia's armed forces are in hot pursuit of a well hung serial flasher. His  nickname, for obvious reasons, is "Donkey Dong" and he's been terrorising the innocent underwear salespeople of Darwin's Mitchell Centre shopping district for the past six months.

The unidentified man, who dresses in military garb, has targeted several clothing and sporting retailers. His modus operandi is to call shop assistants into the change room to see if his tight underwear "fits" correctly.   "It looks real and it's so big, it winds all the way down his leg and I wasn't sure what to do so I just went and got him a bigger pair,"one flashee stated. "We call him Donkey Dong in here. He never buys anything and walks out saying that everything in the shop is too small for him."

An Aussi Department of Defence spokesman yesterday confirmed military police have spoken to retailers and are analysing surveillance footage to try to identify the man. As always in the fight against terrorism, civilians are being warned to be wary of suspicious packages.
